Skidlicious, check to see if you have Genitals turned off, I have a couple characters that way, make a bit of a pain if you don't want the others in the scene to have their dingle berries dangling all over but there's other work arounds for that too (can you say Bobbitt?) For the helmet you may check the character's Props attribs, it may be already laoded but just set to invisable....?
